For those of you uninitiated into Magic: The Gathering, the new Sealed Play mode is a huge addition. Players will open virtual booster packs and build decks from the 84 random cards that they receive. Sealed play was previously exclusive to real-life Magic and Magic: The Gathering Online and will give players a virtual way to experience the utter ecstasy that is opening a pack of cards—minus the new card smell.

The Sealed Play mode will be the core of the new PvE experience with “a six-deck ladder where players take on mono-colored Sealed decks each corresponding with a particular Planeswalker, and finally facing a 'boss' Sealed deck.” Magic 2014 is also reintroducing the Slivers creature type, which rely on a hive mind to give them abilities that they share with other Slivers—they're the Zerg of Magic the Gathering.
